Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes assigning a quality of service (QOS) parameter for a storage volume of a networked storage environment having a first storage node and a second storage node, where the QOS parameter is defined by a throughput value that defines a maximum data transfer rate and a number of input/output (I/O) operations executed within a time period (IOPS); distributing the QOS parameter between the first storage node and the second storage node; determining that throughput credit is available for processing an I/O request for using the storage volume; determining that IOPS credit is available for processing the request by the first storage node; and processing the I/O request when both the throughput credit and the IOPS credit is available.
